Recommend this trip regardless of how long you’re staying in Buenos Aires. If it’s a few days, do it first up, as it’ll give you ideas on where else to go. My guide & driver were wonderful & went the extra yard, and the rooftop barbecue was fabulous

Most of the Short Break in Buenos Aires were excellent. A couple of problems were solved by hotel front desk staff. We recommend going there, especially if you have some knowledge of Spanish.
